Scenes from Vancouver Canucks Yoga On Ice (PHOTOS)

You’re not hallucinating, people have willingly chosen to do yoga on a thick sheet of freezing cold ice. It may have had something to do with the presence of strapping Vancouver Canuck Shawn Matthias, along with fellow handsome teammates Alex Burrows, Bo Horvat, and Zack Kassian, yogaing, getting twisted, and breathing hot air steam clouds from their manly mouths. Oh, and also because it’s for a good cause! Of course, that’s it.

The Yoga on Ice event went off without a hitch or hypothermia this past Sunday at Rogers Arena, the home of the Canucks. (If you haven’t figured it out by now, we’re referring to a hockey team. Sorry, we have to be sure our non-NHL-loving readers realize this isn’t a figure skating affair, sadly.)

The cost was $40 and participants were asked to dress in layers as “just a thin sheet of flooring” was set up between them and the ice below. But, hey, what’s a few toes frozen off when you know it’s for the children? All proceeds from the event went to the Canucks For Kids fund.
